Kodama nets $7m to scale physical AI for ‘intelligent forestry’
AgricultureRoboticsEnvironmental Science
THE AI ANGLE
Automating repeatable skidder tasks and forest mappingKodama raised $7 million to expand its autonomous and teleoperated logging systems. The platform lets operators run forestry skidders from home while collecting under-canopy sensor data during thinning operations. Logging contractors can now extend operating hours and address equipment labor shortages.
THE TEACHING ANGLE
Remote teleoperation removes operators from dangerous cabs, but field operations still depend on on-site crews for maintenance and fueling.Read the original at agfundernews.com Generate teaching or study materials
